entered into a lease with tamara-scott/penn who gave her middle name as her main name. provided $2500 deposit & first month's lease directly to her. found out through the subdivision property manager that tamara was being investigated by the fbi & the home we were given to lease was actually a bank-foreclosed property. we moved out immediately & found a different home. tamara now sits in federal prison for what she did.

I signed a 5 year lease with Mid State Property Management in April 2008. The property I leased went WAS FORECLOSED on in January 2009. The new property managers S R Propety told me the property was had not be foreclosed,in May Envendor Property LLC started to manage the property. By July 16, 2009 the property I was renting was sold at a sheriff sale. Envendor Proprty LLC moved me into a differt unit, I signed a new one year lease and now 30 days after signing the lease this property is in foreclosure. NOT ONE MORGAGE PAYMENT WAS MADE ON THE 1ST PROPERTY I RENTED AND NO PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE FOR OVER 12 MONTHS ON THIS NEW UNIT.

For the very interesting person who would like to debunk this story as a complete fabrication, check your facts. Yes suit was filed in summer '06. Before you file suit, you've got to build up a case; taking anywhere from 9-12 months. All of the loans involved in the scheme were from 03-04. You either were a party in the case or have absolutely no concept of how suits are filed pertaining to mortgage fraud....

For the ignorant person that thinks and that says this case was completely true..I challenge your investigative techniques. Countrywide filed the suit in the early summer of 06'. The media brought it to your attention in the late fall of 06' For you to say this case was completely true makes me think you are incompetent and most likely some media moron. Please learn before you speak about something you know nothing about. BTW most defendents, if not all, have been dismissed from Countrywide's allegations either by the court or by Countrywide.

Completely true. I investigated this case with Argent at the time that it became public from Countrywide. The individuals were the registered agents of the brokerage, the realty company, and the closing agent. Can't do that - conflict of interest. Offered to be prop mngmt for the borrowers, but made 3-5 payments, then defaulted. Not only did they get Countrywide for $15M+, they also got my former employer for $35M+.

I HAD A PROPERTY IN HARRISON COUNTY INDIANA. COUNTRY WIDE WAS THE LENDER. EVEY MONTH OUR PAYMENT WENT UP AND UP AND UP. WE SIGNED A 5.5% FIXED RATE. EVERYTIME WE CALLED THEY WOULD BLAME IT ON SOMETHING, HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE, PROPERTY TAXES, ETC... THE PAYMENT WENT FROM $502 A MONTH TO $1400. A MONTH. WE WERE NEEDLESS TO SAY FORECLOSED ON. WE HAVE 3 SMALL KIDS. WE WOULD LITERALLY HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE HOUSE PAYMENT AND THE KIDS EATTING. I WOULD LIKE TO SUE COUNTRYWIDE FOR THIS BUT NOT SURE OF HOW.

To anyone who can help me, I guess you can say that I am a victim of Showhomes Property Management LLC. I entered into a rent to own lease with them for property in 3027 Nowland Ave Indpls IN in 12/03. (I still have related documents). they requested we pay $700.00 deposit. which I did. this property was sold to a someone else who is now also a victim. To make a long story short because this person chose to keep Showhome as mgmt firm. (joke). He not only never received any money collected from thesed properties non- of the deposits collected before the purchased were ever turned over to him. lost his properties via forclosure. I was forced out of the property in November 10, 2007; due to forclosure (Sherrif Auction). Here it is Jan. '8 Were is my $700.00 deposit!!! is there a law that requires that my deposit be returned within 45 days of vacancy. What can I do to get my money back?
